    We omitted the greens, but still really liked this served with the next page’s kunde. It was reminiscent of mashed potatoes, but lighter, thanks to the beans, and with the occasional chewy piece of corn for texture. We had home-cooked limas, but it would have also been excellent with canned. Relatively quick and quite tasty.
